The First Spray
The opening hits hard. Resinous and sharp, saffron and myrrh collide with a citrus edge that doesn't soften. This is the phase that splits the room. It announces itself and waits to see who stays.

What others think.
The saffron-myrrh opening is confrontational and almost medicinal for the first hour: did that sharp, resinous edge win you over, or did it make you want to run?
